MORE TROOPS TO CAMBRIDGE Ruffing On Religion In Schools Not Unexpected Storm Of Criticism But Mild Many Leaders Anticipated Decision WASHINGTON (AP) -The Supreme Court's required Bible readings and the recitation of the Lord's Prayer in public schools appeared today to have been accepted with little commotion in or out of Congress. The ruling, affecting thousands of classrooms all across the land; was obviously expected, however, in view of the court's action last year against use of a non-denominational prayer composed by New York authorities for the state's public schools. That decision brought down a storm of criticism on the tribunal, especially from Congress.

But congressional reaction to Monday's 8 to 1 ruling was comparatively mild. Generally, the feeling seemed to be that inter- pretating the laws and the Constitution was the court's job. "The Supreme Court has its function and we have ours," commented Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield, a Catholic. Many state officials, meanwhile hurriedly read the decision to see if it required changes in their public schools. Thirty-nine stales now allow morning devotional exercises in public schools.

Many clergymen stressed a greater importance of religious instruction in churches and homes. The court, acting on cases from Pennsylvania and Maryland, specifically barred Bible-reading and the recital of the Lord's Prayer as part of required classroom ercises in public schools. But there appeared to be no room under the decision for a teacher to hold such exercises on her own since public school teachers are government employes.
